I trade via the order book rather than through an rsp. Trading statement is due out tomorrow. Hopefully that will be the end of falls and lead to a sharp move up.

I know trading is good but obviously can't say too much, did u buy online?? Nothing available online buy/sell here.

[nickcduk] 03/4/2008 15:15

Ooops. Famous last words. Seller is keen to sell out and has chased the price markedly lower. The 100k buy order was pulled and looked like it was then traded off market in the 250k or so trade around 112.5p Clutching at straws but hoping the fact seller is chasing it lower means that they haven't got much left. Picked a few more up at 108p. Not sure I should really be adding any more until we get the all clear that trading hasn't gone totally Pete Tong.

Got my fingers crossed that the seller gets cleared today. They have issued their EGM statement and probably spoke to a few investors who attended the meeting. A nod and wink to say everything is on track probably ensued. That would account for the buy orders this afternoon. 100k sitting at 112p and blocks of 10k bidding at 112.75p. If the seller wants a sharp exit and is willing to unload today then I think the overhang will get cleared. Hoping to finally recover some losses over the coming sessions.

yes, patience required till seller cleared, these forced seller stocks don't half bounce quick so watching like a hawk.

[nickcduk] 01/4/2008 12:35

Unfortunately I don't think it is a single large seller at work. They leapfrog each other in order not to miss out on a chance to sell. Reminds me of STOB a while back. It changed from Westbury Property fund to Stobart and the share price got trashed as property funds sold out. Fell from about 140p to about 110p I think. It took a few weeks to get back towards 130p. Hopefully we will get something similar here. If it were still a small cap and classified as a property stock AGR would be near 160p. Its a shame it got promoted and moved to healthcare.

[dontyo] 01/4/2008 12:04

need to see that 115p seller cleared on the order book, soon as 115p bid i'm flying in.

[dontyo] 01/4/2008 11:57

not sure, looks like it has started creeping back up. Looks like a bot is nibbling the sell side. This will bounce big when it does, look at how MNA has today as well as MWB did last week ( 110p -163p ).

[nickcduk] 01/4/2008 09:57

Seller is still lurking unfortunately. I think AGR may have got a double whammy from the recent index changes. Sellers from small cap as well as property funds seem to have caused the damage. It may need a positive trading statement in order to generate enough volume to clear the overhang. Once cleared it should move sharply higher though.

[dontyo] 01/4/2008 09:12

Is this the seller cleared? Needs to break 115p for confirmation imho.

[dontyo] 27/3/2008 15:01

Ready to buy this on the turn, informed 5 million have been dripped on hence the drop from 160p. Looks another gift of a chance with MNA.

Have spoken to them this morning and said a trading update is due out next week. Results apparently in June for the new 31 March year end.

[matthewa] 27/3/2008 05:18

nickcduk - Agreed. I think they have results out on Monday going by their web site. Could be a good buying opp.

[nickcduk] 26/3/2008 19:57

There was a strong bounce first thing this morning to about 125p but the selling obviously hadn't finished yesterday and carried on today. Once volume dies down it should recover as it will indicate forced selling is done.

[matthewa] 26/3/2008 17:18

Not much of a bounce today on these. Back to 2004 levels almost.

[nickcduk] 25/3/2008 20:39

Trashed due to AGR being promoted to the FTSE 350. It is sometimes better to be a big fish in a little pond than a small fish in a big pond. Forced selling by index trackers and funds who have remits which preclude them from investing in ftse 350 companies. Stock should bounce back strongly tomorrow but don't expect it to recover its entire losses over the last few sessions.

[grigor] 25/3/2008 19:26

Big fall on high volume - Who's selling?

[makingheaps] 21/9/2007 18:43

Nice rise today - what happened?

[tipsytoad] 16/8/2007 13:25

eddie stobbart doing a reverse takeover into westbury

[bigbigdave] 16/8/2007 13:08

Whats with the sudden action here?

[amla] 25/6/2007 12:49

Can be very volatile and I expect sept results; so long way to go with large fluctuations in share price as is the norm with this one.
I read somewhere that the dividend was -1.7 covered.If this is still true it is a bit worrying.
Certainly an exciting share for day traders...good luck!

[makingheaps] 22/6/2007 18:22

Nice to see the direstors buying to help support the price

[makingheaps] 21/6/2007 17:18

I suppose it was sheltered from the property effect by the other businesses and the prospects for these.

[nickcduk] 21/6/2007 09:35

A realisation that it had totally escaped the carnage in other property stocks. PHP is down from a year high of about 540p to 420p or so now. AGR should be near year lows if not breaking through them. Property stocks are getting trashed by realisation higher rates will lead to a sharp drop in NAV values.
